Animated toy utilizing artificial intelligence and fingerprint verification
First Claim
1. An anthropomorphic or zoomorphic child'"'"'s play toy providing interactive entertainment with multiple human users comprising:
- an acquisition device adapted to acquire a representation of a fingerprint of one of said human users, and said acquisition device being adapted to produce a signal relative to the acquired representation; and
a processor associated with said acquisition device in a manner to receive the produced signal from said acquisition device, said processor being adapted to compare the produced signal relative to data stored in memory and to provide an output signal indicative of recognition;
said processor being configured to collect and store information pertaining to each of said multiple human users on an ongoing basis to cause said toy to provide individualized entertaining interaction, including animated movements of the toy, with each of said multiple human users on an individualized basis;
wherein the anthropomorphic or zoomorphic child'"'"'s play toy provides said individualized entertaining interaction in response to said output signal indicative of recognition.

Abstract
An articulated and animated toy capable of recognizing human users and interacting therewith includes a computer-based device storing encoded first human fingerprint data, a fingerprint sensor for acquirin data representative of a second human fingerprint, and software for fingerprint verification. The apparatus can further include software for recognizing speech, generating speech and controlling animation of the articulated toy. In addition, the toy is capable of learning and storing information pertaining to each of said human users such as name, age, sex, favorite color, etc., and to interact with each of said human users on an individual basis, providing entertainment tailored specifically to each of said human users.
